Paying contractors faster

howtodoit · ‎October 25, 2025

Quickbooks recently added a few days to the time it processes contractor payments. With holidays, this often means my contractors are waiting 7-9 business days before seeing their money. I already requested faster payments and was denied for some reason but I want to find a faster way to pay contractors so they are not waiting for their money so long. I'm guessing I need to use a third party, looking for recommendations/answers. Thank you.

You can explore Melio to pay your 1099 contractors and sync it with QBO. You can use their same business day service if you are eligible.
